This Irish Isle Will Greet Those Fleeing Trump With a Hug and a Pint
2016-11-12
(ANTIMEDIA) Inishturk, Ireland -- A radio DJ from Canada’s Cape Breton Island first introduced the idea of havens for Americans seeking escape from a Donald Trump presidency -- but now Ireland is joining in with its own offer for possible future expats.
Inishturk, a remote Irish Isle situated nine miles off County Mayo, has decided to court the potentially disillusioned segment of the United States populace with an open-armed offer to provide a safe place to live if the idea of a Trump presidency is too much to bear.

#9  Years ago I had lunch and a pint in a pub in Knockanure, Ireland. It was also a leather shop and had framed pictures of JF Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln.

Then there was a pub in Galbally which was also an undertakers parlor.

So many pubs, so little time.

How sweet? It will be a place where snowflakes have "safe spaces" and are free from "trigger words" and have a PC-molded environment. Sounds like hell.

#4  I visited my family's ancestral hovel on the north coast of Mayo some years ago. Beautiful, beautiful country, but the best part is there's not even a barbed wire fence between you and the North Pole. And if you want the locals to double over in laughter ask them about central heating. So, go for it, guys. Be sure to bring your money with you.

#3  My ancestors left Ireland 170 years ago to come to America. Still the right choice!
